This was posted at another board and they can’t figure it out. I was hoping that maybe someone here had heard the song. [Song can be heard here](http://media.putfile.com/full-song-unknown-artisttrack-name) All I know about it is that it’s a mid 80s metal band. Though I do like the song and would like to know who it is as well. ---

The song is “Impulse” by Heretic, from the album _Metal Massacre VII_. You’re welcome. 😉 ---

For now I will bow to your knowledge, that is unless we find out your wrong. 😉 ---

Ok, you get bowed to, I heard a sample of it. Now how in the world did you know that, yet no one else in the metal community could figure it out after two months? ---

[QUOTE=Edward The Head] Ok, you get bowed to, I heard a sample of it. Now how in the world did you know that, yet no one else in the metal community could figure it out after two months? [/QUOTE] The song sounded familiar right away, but I didn’t recall the actual title until the chorus. Then I had to google for the artist name / album title (kinda tricky) and for good measure, pulled out my _Metal Massacre_ CD box set to verify. I’ve always been big into 80’s thrash metal, glad to know it was useful. 🆒
